Contents of the User Defined Fields Dialog Box

The grid on this dialog box in Screen Designer displays a list with basic information for all the user-defined fields and elements in the hub or chart of accounts that you have open in Screen Designer.

From the Projects hub, this dialog box shows only the user-defined fields and elements from the selected area that you have open, such as Contract Management, Project, and so on.

Field Type This field displays a user-defined field or element's type. For fields, this indicates the of information that users must enter in the field, such as Currency, Date, Checkbox, and so on. For other elements, it shows the element type, such as Divider, Button, and so on.
Caption This field displays a user-defined field's caption, which is the name that displays on the tab for the user-defined field. For other elements, such as a divider, this field is blank.
